I used to believe that when I saw the smoke trails from jets it meant that it was someone's birthday that day. I seemed possible since every time I was one it just happend to be someones birthday that I knew of. Perhaps becasue I was only paying attnetion when it was someones B-day. It never occured to me that thousands of people are born every day thus share the same B-day.
